Greens' MP urges Bastion Point boat ramp rethink

A Greens' MP is calling on Victoria's Environment Minister to rethink a big boat ramp development at Mallacoota.

The more than $6 million project will see a boat ramp, breakwater and access road built at Bastion Point in Mallacoota.

There has been widespread community opposition to the proposal and protesters gathered at State Parliament this week calling for it to be stopped.

Environment Minister Ryan Smith has already signed off on the project but the Upper House Greens' MP Sue Pennicuik says he should reconsider.

"The Minister for Environment and Climate Change, who gave coastal consent for the option put forward by the East Gippsland Shire Council, to reconsider that decision and to instead work with the community and the Gippsland coastal board to implement a less intrusive and destructive option," she said.

A spokesman for the Minister says there has been extensive community consultation and there are no plans to change the decision.
